Hi Christian,
For your issue number 2, you can have a look at the thread :
"Re: [suse-autoinstall] is there a length limit on the line of parameters
passed to isolinux.bin ?"
on the 20/01/2004 in that mailing list
your parameters line probably exceeds the maximum autorized length...
you can even check this out, looking at the tty3 during the beginning of
the installation
and have a look at the parameter: "install:"
you can also switch to tty9 and "cat /etc/install.inf"
If all your parameters are there, that means the length limit is not the
issue....
if they are not there (especially install) ... you found your issue number
2!
regards,
Damien Selles

[suse-autoinstall] Some Problems with AutoYaST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello
While playing around with AutoYaST I've found 2 problems:
1. Umlauts (öäü) in the user-defined scripts results in an
non-loadable xml-file. AutoYaST didn't complain about this problem and
also won't load other xml-files as well... I had this problem where I
used an umlaut in a comment and it tooks really a long time until I've
found this out :-(
Also AutoYaST sometimes simply closed themself after I wanted to open
such a xml-file
2. I can't boot without a dhcp/bootp - server.
Here's my isolinux.cfg - entry:
label linux
kernel linux
append initrd=initrd UseDHCP=no HostIP=192.168.10.100
IPAddr=192.168.10.100 ramdisk_size=65536 netdevice=eth0
ip=192.168.10.100 gateway=192.168.10.1 nameserver=192.168.10.1
autoyast=nfs://192.168.10.1/autoyast/suse
install=nfs://192.168.10.1/autoyast/suse-cds/
While booting YaST tries to locate the dhcp/bootp - server although I
gave them an ip explicitly.
When I want to boot manually and select "Start
installation/system->Start installation/update->Network->NFS" I can
select an ip without accessing a dhcp/bootp-server, but this won't
work at boot-time. Or am I missing a parameter?
The second problem is really sad because they won't use a dhcp-server
and so AutoYaST is useless for me :-(
A nive feature which I would like to see implemented are the
smb-client and server settings because this is needed in networks with
windows.
Christian
